Eugene Tupper Kinder ’38

After previously residing in Florida and Madison, Conn., Gene died Oct. 11, 2003, in Branford, Conn.

A native of Cleveland, Gene graduated from University School in Shaker Heights. At Princeton he majored in economics and was secretary-treasurer of Charter Club.

He later attended law school at the U. of Michigan, where he was an editor of the law review. During WWII he served in the Navy as a torpedo squadron ground officer on the East Coast, and later on the carrier USS Antietam in the Pacific.

In 1942, Gene joined the Cleveland law firm now known as Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue, where he worked primarily on deferred compensation and retirement, and profit-sharing matters. He retired as administrative partner in 1983. He was also director and secretary of Murray Ohio Manufacturing Co. of Nashville, and a member of the Court of Nisi Prius.

Gene and his wife, Barbara, were avid sailors, and belonged to several beach and yacht clubs in Florida. Gene is survived by Barbara; three children, Barbara, Eugene T. Jr., and Emily K. Farmer; and five grandchildren, to all of whom the class extends deep sympathy.
